Bradley Monk fined for possessing Viagra he “didn’t know” was illegal

A 29-year-old found with Viagra tablets that he “didn’t know were illegal” has been fined for possessing the un-prescribed tablets. Bradley Monk appeared in Bunbury Magistrates Court on Monday where he pleaded guilty to the unlawful possession of a prescribed drug and the possession of prohibited drug. On July 10 last year, Monk was pulled over by police whilst driving along Leschenault Drive in Australind after being spotted at a known drug address. After conducting a search of the vehicle, police located a bag in the rear of the vehicle containing a clip seal bag of 3.5 Viagra tablets and a second clip seal bag with 0.63 grams of MDMA. Representing himself at the bar table, Monk told the court he “didn’t know” Viagra was illegal and had forgotten the MDMA was in his car. Magistrate Benjamin Tyers, who noted Monk had “some record” with drug charges, handed down a total fine of $850 including analysis fees, ordering the drugs to be destructed.
